Zippy the Pinhead, 5/11/06:

panel 1:
   Giant Easter Bunny figure: Let's talk!  I like to talk!
   Zippy: Uh-oh!  A little jaded?

panel 2:
   GEBf: "Can we talk?" (c) (tm)
   Zippy: !

panel 3:
   Zippy: OK.. That's it! Now you're infringing on th' copyrighted
sayings of Ms. Joan Rivers!
   GEBf: But.. But.. You can't legally copyright a saying! What about
"Are we having fun yet?".. It's everywhere!

panel 4:
   Zippy: Just because you've fallen into th' public domain, Easter
Bunny, that's no reason to drag th' rest of us down with you!!
